Can you change lanes on a dashed yellow line?

[BriellaFitz]

Yellow dashed lines allow lane changes. 1. Function: Yellow dashed lines are used to separate lanes traveling in opposite directions, typically installed on relatively narrow road surfaces. Whether single or double yellow lines, as long as they are dashed, you may cross them to overtake or make a U-turn. 2. Solid vs. dashed lines: Solid lines indicate that crossing is prohibited, meaning lane changes are not allowed. Dashed lines indicate that crossing is permitted, allowing lane changes. If you encounter yellow dashed lines on the road, as long as you are within the dashed area and follow traffic light signals and yielding rules, you may make a U-turn or change lanes. 3. White dashed lines: These separate lanes traveling in the same direction, allowing lane changes and other maneuvers. They often appear as extensions of white dashed lines before intersections or to separate roadside parking areas.
